Girls in RinrletS,

Ringlets flourished in 1946. In those
days accomplished girls "twanged the
light guitar" and accompanied them
selves in the most sentimental of songs.
They liked sitting dreaming in the moon
light, alone or en- tete-a-tete. They read
Unlimited novels, and had no sense of
humor. They never awoke to the reali-
ties of life until they married and wore
their hair in hands. If you put girl in
ringlcts, what can you expcctl Certainly,
nothing practical or energetic. 1t is well
known that the slightest exertion takes
the ringlcts out of curl. Let us hope
that fate will never be so cruel as again to
make them fashionable. c.-Boston Herald.

Wedding SuDerstitions

The bride must keep the pins which
fastened her wedding dress.
"Twice bridesmaid, never bride, I"
is proverb that needs no comment.
Marry at the time of the moons waning
and your good luck will wane also.
If two marriages are celebrated simul-
taneously one of the husbands will die.
Fair or foul weather upon ones we'd
ding day augurs happy or unhappy
married life.
If girl who is engaged accidently
lets knife fall it is sign that her lover
is coming.
The girl who steps, accidently or other
wise, on cats tail need not expect to
be married the same year.
The husband must never take off the
weddingring; to take it off will insure
him bad luck of some kind.

Saved by Two Girls.

Whatever may have been the original
of the fabled mermaids, "sea-girls, the
real mermaids are certainly found in the
Sandwich Islands. That strong man,
much less young woman, can be so
much at home in the water as to fight
and Kill the fercest native of that element
on its own battle-ground, seems in
credible, but Senator Fair of Nevada,
tells the following story aS an experience
of his own:
1t happened upon my last visit to the
Sandwich Islands. am very expert
swimmer, and nothing pleases me better
than to plunge into the salt water. The
temperature of the islands is delightful,
and 1 could not resist the temptation to
take swim.
1 prepared myself, and plunged in.
After had been in the water for half an
hour, I pushed out over and beyond one
of the reefs which surround the islands.
All at orce realized that something was
going on on the shore. There was quite
"A number of natives there, and they ap.
peared to be greatly excited.
Suddenly two native girls swan out
behind me with long knives between
their teeth. l looked around, and to my
horror saw shark making for me with
terrific speed.
An instant later the girls had dived,
and the shark had nearly stopped. The
water around him was red with blood.
The girls came to the surface again, and
again they dived and plunged their long
L., s,,fo f1n y,cfn Ioc
still on the top of the water quite dead.
The natives dragged him ashore, and
found that he was one of the largest
of his species.
But for the wonderful bravery of these
girls should not be here tonight to tell
you this story.

A Modest But Expensive RepaSt.

1t all happened in Portland restaur-
ant, yesterday at nooa. He was chronic
epicure who strolled into one of the lead
ing cafes in the city for a lunch, he said.
SCOT any bill of fare2" he growled at the
waiter, modest lass of sixteen.
The young miss told him would he be
so kind as to look behind him, and he
would there encounter the bill of fare
written on a blackboard. 1t took two
men to move the bill of fare, but they did
it, placing it directly in front of his
table. He adjusted an eyeglass, turnel
up his Roman nose, and studied the
menu. 1t took him five minutes to order
slice of bread and a cucumber. He Or
dcred his cucumber served in nom
sliced condition. The waiter in her silver
salver brought him cucumber, and the
epicure actually took in his fist, dipped it
in pitcher of molasses and water, and
boltcd it out of sight without so much as
slicing or pairing. He stepped to the
clerk, and asked for an itemized bill.
The clerk handed him the following re-
ceipted bill, which the epicure paid and
left:
To one cucumber. r....................... Go
To one slice Of bread. Observation-Disclosures. o.
To one pitcher of nolasSes. es........... -

all fees. IhlS IS hrSt SET aSldc.
Then twenty-five per cent or S400, is
deposited with the company's treasurer
as boat revenue exclusively for share
holders annual dividends. The remain
ing $500 will bc monthly divided among
the six owner pilots, who, it will thus
be seen, receive monthly share-earning
payments as well as annual dividends,
bringing the average pilots annual earn
ings to from $500 to $20OO-an utterly
inadequate compensation for what he has
acquired and endured to become prof.
c;eut in his pcrilous vocation. The ''jour
neymen," or non-owning pilot simply
lives on what he can get until by some
good luck he may secure possession OF
share, the offer of which, though seldom
made, must be always posted in the Com
missioner's office blackboard, and then,
of course, goes to the highest bidder; and
his opportunity for earning is limited
almost exclusively to the chance assign
mcnts where pilot owners happen to be
absent and pilot must instantly be had
by an outgoing vessel. Then his COM
pcnsation is Just one sixth Of the sum
over and above the reserved 25 per cent.
and the deducted running expense pro-
portion, which he receives from the boat
company at the end of the month.
The pilotage itself is fixed by the Com
missioners, and it is wholly based on the
draught of vessels; and the pilot who
has brought vessel into port, is invari-
ably assigned to "put her out to sea" un.
less the vessels master can urge good
reasons for change. The scale of pilot
age is fixed on vessels of from to 90
feet draught, and the rate from S3.7S

AT the close of the year 1850, Eu-
rope and America held gold coin to
the amount of SO, $50, ,632, 900. More
than thirty-one per cent of this was
held by France and the three other
States in the Latin Union. The gold
coin held by these four States
amounted to 1898, ,4lO,o0O. The total
population of these States is seventy
five millions. The same States held
over 800, 100000 in silver coin. These
countries in ten years, ending with
1884, received from other States $249,-
277 100 in gold. This is equal to
twenty-five per cent of the gold coin
age of the world for that decade. In
the above figures are some very hard
nuts for the monometalists to crack.
They do not indicate that a double
coinage tend to drive gold out OF a
country. That is what the goldites,
claim, but it is not what the facts
prove.

The editor OF the Santa Ana Blade
takes the HERALD to task for speaking
of the Los Angeles and Anaheim
branch OF the Southern Pacific rail-
road, and constructs theory Of dis
terminating against his town out Of
this innocent expression. He says he
has been studying the map and fails
to find such branch road. We did
not study the map for the name, nor
did we study to slight beautiful Santa
Ana, nor the dull editor of his
Blade. When the road was built,
Anaheim was place, and Santa Ana
was nowhere. Old timers fell into the
habit Of speaking of the road as we
did, and that habit has stuck to some
of us. This is all news, Of course, to the
young man who fails to put an edge on
his Blade. Since then Santa Ana has
grown to be place of great and varied
attractions, and we all rejoice in her
growth. That this obtuse Blade should
prefer San Diego to Los Angeles, az he
shows by his article, is not strange.
The miracle will be when that young
man gets any correct idea into his
head.

One of our country exchanges in
speaking of sad accident in'which a
little child was burned calls it a ''big
holocaust" What is a holocaust
any way? Homer is about the first
ready writer who uses the term and
whose winged words have survived by
their fitness the ravages of the tooth
of time. In his days holocaust was
a great burned sacrifice in which at
least hundred beasts were slain and
their flesh roasted. But in modern
days it is hard to keep pace with the
progress made by the average re-
porter, in whose mind fire is always
holocaust, and woman charged
with any crime is Borgia.-

THE postponement Of the convoking
of the English Parliament to Feb
ruary, and the confession OF fear
therein that the Irish policy OF the
Tory Government might be called in
question, are display of weakness
and timerity likely to prove disastrous
to the Salisbury regime in England.
The Conservative party in England OF
recent years, strange to say, has won
by it's bold attitude on important
measures. Gladstone has sometimes
lost his hold by a vascillating policy.
Disraeli always won by positive,
aggressive course. With Salisbury to
show lack of confidence in his own
measures. or lack of courage in his
own ability will bowl him over.

The Elections Yesterday.

Telegraphic returns from the States
which held elections yesterday will be
read with great interest this morning
From several States the news Is quite
sufficient to positively indicate the
; trend of affairs. The results will be
very closely parallel to our forecast OF
yesterday morning.
In the Republican States where any
variant elements crop out are Ohio,
where considerable gain is developed
5for that party, while in Iowa there is
some further falling away for the big
majorities Of days Immediately post
fbellum. In Massachusetts, the votei is
about what was expected; and in
Rhode Island Republican is elected
to Congress.
At this writing the returns from
Penpsy lvania indicate rather loss on
the Republican side, but the news is
of the most meagre character.
MARYLAND is Z safely Democratic
maugre the designs Of the Reformers,
who for the spoils OF Office united with
the Republicans to defeat the Old
Line Democrats, whose management
has had the good fortune to be upheld
by the will of the sovereign people.
So far all the news received from
yy:..;,,o -, J;oofa a ft,,rpuoh rnUppar-
alton of the Old Dominion politically.
1t will be just cause for pride for the
people of that Commonwealth to rid
their political skirts of Riddleberger.
When Malone shall have been sent
to the same political limbo, the State
+. sho onld hold a jubilation.
I Bnt New York was where all eyes
turned. The situation was grave one
but the Democracy of the Empire State
never for moment have lost heart.
The "Son of his father" has been rel
. egated to private life in most en-
phatic manner, and Mr.. Fellows on
the municipal ticket in New York City
beats the bolter, Nicoll, with Irving
Hall at his back, clean cut OF the field.
y These positive triumphs of the party
will be hailed with less satisfaction by
all good citizens, than will the news of
the almost utterrout OF Henry George
with his double-faced policy
and ch imerical theories of hair-spun
texture. By the latest returns up to
l O'Clock this morning. which means
A o'clock in New York, he has but
half the vote he received year ago
Fred. Grant falls far behind the party
vote OF year ago in the precincts
heard from north Of the Harlem river.
On the W hole, the elections yester-
day are a substantial and cheering
Democr attic gain, as the returns stand
at this hour. From Detroit we get
the comfort of sweeping Demo-
cratic victory in that city.

years and had no cause to swear out a
complaint for his arrest. His case

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Ed ward Smith Thrown from {,
Buggy in East Los Angeles.

Busgy in East Los Angeles
What might have been a fatal rum
away accident happened yesterday
afternoon in East Los Angeles. Mr..
Edward Smith, who is employed by
Mr.. Henry Hazard, having some busi-
ness to attend to on the East Side,
started over there accompanied by
Ills wife in Mrs. Hazards phaeton.
On returning, as he reached Downey
avenue just this siie of Truman, the
top OF the phaeton fell forward be-
tween the couple and the horse,
making it impossible to guide the ami
NAL, who started On break-neck
speed down Downey avenue. After
running two blocks he dashed into q
fence the other side Of the bridge
throwing MIR. Smith out. He struck
against an iron hydrant, cutting a
wound in his head four inches long
He was taken into the store on the
corner where herr manned unconscious
for two hours. Mrs. Smith, who sat
beside her husband, was uninjured.
The shafts of the buggy were
broken and the horse had his left for
ward leg slightly cut, but otherwise
no damage was done. Mr.. Smith was
taken to his home, No. % Cemetery
avenue, by Mr.. Hazard, who was no.
titled of the accident and Immediately
appeared on the scene with DR.. Wise.
Smith is still in a precarious condi-
ton, but DR.. Wise thinks his skull is
unhurt and the patient will pull
through with only scalp wound.
His wife is very weak from the effect
OF the shock, as it was at first sup
posed her husband was dead. Mr..
Smith was formerly clerk of the SEN
ate, and came here but short time
ago at the urgent request OF Mr.. Haz-
ard, who is personal friend OF his.
The horse which was driven was one
of Roses Messenger stock, with
record OF 2:26 and OF very fiery ma
